ABOD, Coleraine & District Amalgamated Committee, Parade Ballymoney, County Antrim 5th April 2026

Coleraine & District Amalgamated Committee Parade @ Ballymoney. Today I travelled to the County Antrim town of Ballymoney to see the Coleraine & District Amalgamated Committee parade. The Apprentice Boys of Derry were led by the Coleraine Fife & Drum Band, with around 250 people taking part. The first parade made its way to the town’s war memorial, where everything paused for a 15‑minute service. When the bugler finished, several wreaths were laid as a lone piper played, a quiet, respectful moment in the middle of the day. From there, the parade continued through the town to Saint Patrick’s Church for the service. Afterwards, there was a shorter return parade, bringing the day to a close with God Save the King being played.
